Jingtian Douluo of the Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 355 The Prelude to the Competition!

The Continental Young Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has begun.

On the morning of the competition's opening, Zhu Ziyang walked out of the bedroom. A few seconds later, Ma Xiaotao also came out. Her complexion was very rosy, obviously she had a good rest last night.

A few minutes later, the members of the Shrek team gathered in the living room. They lined up in two rows, with the main candidates at the front and the preliminary candidates at the back. From left to right in the front row were Jiang Nannan, Qian Lingyi, Wu Huan'er, Ning Tian, ​​Chu Hua, and Zhou Tianhe. Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao stood in front of them.

Zhu Ziyang tried his best not to look at the faces of Jiang Nannan's three daughters, their faces were full of resentment and anger, because these days, he was dominated by Ma Xiaotao, and the three of them had very strong opinions, Wu Huan'er was fine, after all, he and Ma Xiaotao were like sisters, and they had a temperament of daring to love and hate, when they got close to Zhu Ziyang, they didn't care whether Ma Xiaotao was around or not.

But Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi were different, they had thin skins and couldn't do this, so they could only protest to Zhu Ziyang dissatisfied.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a day or two, because with the start of the competition, the jealous behavior of the three women must be restrained.

"Ahem!" Zhu Ziyang coughed, and everyone focused on him. He said, "The result of yesterday's lottery came out. We had a bye in the first round and directly got [-] points."

"This..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Brother, isn't it a good thing to have a bye?" Cao Jinxuan, a member of the preliminary selection team, raised his hand to speak. He was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why the brothers and sisters in the front row had inexplicable expressions.

"It's a good thing and a bad thing." Zhu Ziyang smiled and explained, "The good thing is that we can directly advance to the second round, which saves us a lot of effort. The bad thing is that we lose the chance to be the first to win. You know, in previous competitions, our Shrek Academy always started the opening round. This is an honor."

"In that case, wouldn't we be at a big loss?" Xie Huanyue, a member of the preliminary selection team, shouted.

"Hehe, it doesn't really matter. The purpose of the Sun Moon Empire's move is actually not difficult to guess. Most likely it is to let the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy play the opening game. After all, it is home court advantage, which is understandable." Zhu Ziyang continued, "This is a kind of provocation, so when you encounter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy in the next game, don't hold back. If you dare to provoke Shrek Academy, you must be prepared to pay the price! Understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Okay, let's go." Ma Xiaotao said with a smile on his face, "Although we have a bye in the first round, we still need to appear in the opening ceremony. By the way, we can also see how strong those sect teams are."

Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao walked side by side, leading the members of the Shrek team out of the hotel, and went directly to the venue where the competition was held.

The Sun Moon Empire placed the competition venue on the outskirts of Mingdu on the great plain with a wide view. This place not only has a wide space and can accommodate more people, but also can build a bigger arena to support more intense battles.

There are 360 ​​seven participating teams in this competition, half of which will be directly eliminated in the first round. Excluding the bye Shrek Academy, there can only be 180 three teams entering the second round, and then adding the Shrek team, a total of 180 four teams will go to the second round, and half of the teams will also be eliminated. The remaining 92 teams will enter the third round, and half of the teams will also be eliminated in the third round. group stage.

The competition system for all stages is an individual elimination competition plus a team competition. The theoretical maximum points for the winner is [-] points. In fact, the final round of the preliminaries is based on the team points as the main judging criterion. The fourteen teams with the least points will be eliminated.

Everyone from Shrek Academy came to the competition venue. The competition venue was located in the suburbs on the east side of Mingdu. This suburb, which is sparsely populated in normal seasons, was already crowded with people at this moment. There were more than 3 soldiers from the Sun and Moon Empire to maintain order. This shows how many people came to watch the competition.

Right now, this area is divided into two areas, one is the viewing area, and the other is the competition area.The viewing area is divided into small areas, each of which can accommodate up to 5000 people.The competition area is surrounded by the viewing area, and the most conspicuous thing in the competition area is naturally the ring used for the competition.

The arena is ten meters high, with a diameter of about 120 meters. The entire arena exudes a silver-white metallic luster. Obviously, this majestic arena is actually made of metal. Such a huge amount of work made many people who came to the Sun Moon Empire for the first time sigh the strength of the Sun Moon Empire.

What is even more interesting is that there is a circle of grooves around the competition arena. In these grooves, there are pieces of light curtains that are transparent and yellowish. The light curtains rise towards the sky. Looking up at these light curtains in the air, there is no end in sight. This makes Zhu Ziyang even more curious about the development of the soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire. He can't even see the light curtain at the end, which means that these lights shine at least 5000 meters above the sky!
This requires a huge amount of soul power to support it. At least, a soul master needs at least the realm of a soul sage to send his soul power to a height of 5000 meters. This also means that each groove can at least display the power of a soul saint.
The ruler of the Sun Moon Empire should not be so brain-dead.

The function of these light curtains is very simple. They serve as the boundary of the ring. Since they are high enough, the possibility of knocking the opponent out of the ring and winning is almost zero. If you want to win, you must rely on your strength to completely defeat the opponent.

Outside the arena, extending out from the center of the arena, every [-] meters, there is a huge soul guide screen supported by tall metal brackets in the air. The size of each screen is more than [-] square meters. These screens can perfectly present the scene on the ring, so that all the audience can watch the whole process of the game in the first place. There are more than [-] such soul guide screens, which are evenly distributed in every viewing area.

This kind of soul guide technology is currently only available in the Sun Moon Empire. The other three countries, hehe, they have already attached great importance to soul guide devices if they can spend 100 yuan on the soul guide screen.

The player rest area is located on the east side of the ring, which is clearly divided into two areas and three levels.Taking the distance from the competition ring as a reference, the rest area closest to the ring is the best equipped. It not only has a pergola, but also sofas and dedicated waiters. There are only two such rest areas, one each for the Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.The rest area after that only has a pergola and ordinary seats, and the rest area does not even have a pergola, just rows of benches.

When Zhu Ziyang and his party arrived, there were already many people in the rest area. These people were either sitting on benches or seats. After seeing the Shrek people, their eyes were full of complex emotions of envy and jealousy.

Zhu Ziyang turned a blind eye to these gazes, and walked towards the top rest area closest to the competition ring with a calm expression, and then sat down on the sofa in the middle without hesitation.

Ignoring the envious eyes of the male compatriots in the team, Zhu Ziyang began to look at the teams entering the arena one after another. Naturally, there were many acquaintances in these teams, such as the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy who followed them, and was only separated from their rest area by a curtain. Meng Hongchen's winking eyes flying towards him were clearly intercepted by Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan.

Another example is the Xingluo Royal Academy led by Xu Jiujiu, the Snow Demon Sect team led by Wei Na, the Tang Sect team led by Tang Ya Huo Yuhao, and lastly, the Falan Academy team where Yang Zhenzhen is.

Soon, all the teams arrived, at least all the seats in the rest area had owners, which meant that all the teams officially recognized by the competition had arrived.

At this time, a new situation appeared.
